of the condua . of tiose who had ettiployeA thAt ttr rny,itt a manner the most reprehensible and absurd. Fortune, who lead been so prodigal of her bounty to wards this ceontry, had never offered tier a fairer opportunity of exerting her military power so much forlier inierest'and her glory, as was afforded by the late occurrences in Spain. In Spain was the b:ittle of England, as well as of Spain,. to be fought: The prondeSt portion of the British Army was sent to _tight it. The army fought us might havie been ex peaed from its known intreeidity.aod dtscipline ; but ail its efforts were frustrated by the ignorattee or ,incapacity` of those who 'had the direction of our public .atfairs . In their hands nothing prospered ; the strength as well as the.glory of the nation was on the decline; in short, we were a sinking coun- . try. Thus much he must say at the Present mos went in vindication of the army, and in reprehension of, the conduct of those to whose mistnanagemeht,.itit sufferings end its failures were alone impinable; The blood and the treasure of .the Empire were laished only to purchase disgrace, and accelerate our reiii au enormilus ex;enditure anvil and money had been, incurred, to produce no other effeet than that of uniting the whole. Continent against England. We . must now desert Spain ai we have deserted Sn. wede,' , and where then would, there be an Ally for England. This misconduct of Ministers he could not forbear animadverting upon on the present occasion;---it was the cause of ad the sufferings and all the disappoint ments of ourarmies ; and it he leftithein uncensored, lie should eel that he deserted the cause of his brave cotitotoions in arms. Lord Stottotrut concurred in the sentiments of lafs Nible icnd, as tat as the at toy and its itrunot tat "eider were coucernifd. had ever been his opi nioo, that under 'whatever circumstances , they came into contact, a British was always superior to a Vrench army. But shortly ago they attacked, with. ' every advantage on their side, the British troops in Portugal. Not withstanding those advantages, they were signally defeutvd. On the recent and lamen table occasion, they had still in a more marked man ner, every athantage on their side; yet still their defeat was not le.sti complete. To the' British . army , therefore, in every esSential quality of an army, the superiority reMained undisputed. It the objects they wert.i. sent on had not been Accom ' plished, the faith was not with theta. His heart bled when he recolleded the hardships; the fatigues, the privations of every sort to which they had been reduced, during the'enparallelled march ofseventeen days, at the close of which they performed such in ()digit's of valour. But in proportion as he - cern ' mended and admired their gallant and Meritorious conduct, in the same proportion must be condemn the condud of those by whose errors, or misappre bensipus the army had been condenined. to such necessary and tupivailing 'sufferings. The re4ponsi bility„which Ministers had incutred in this reaped. was most awful, and .np.tsk furnisi: the subject of future diseussion. Surely , our gallant arwy .must have Wen left to suffer in vain; .without some ex planation being aftbided of the cause that luvolVed: them in such tryingtoils, to such unavailing calami ties. , alt. should touch further at present on this . topic, but with that reservation in his mind, he would bow give his most cordial concurrence to the tio&of his Noble Friend. ‘.

That such a signal mark of approbation would be given by the vote of this night,. lie &da.entertain 110 tlotht. If Sir John Moore had not been able to accomplish all that was expeEted 5' if he was not able to ochieve the arduous task of rescuing Spain from thelyrant's grasp,,the blame was not his.—(4 loud o'y 'of " law," from' the pained him (yon tinued the Noble Lord) to see party feelings , instal* tested so loudly on this occasion. If those Gentles!. .mertwlusasttse 'way . tests ill-timed a displaL of their, political opinions„ did think that'iffellatne his Majesty's .

'to return, ho wever,, to the sub jeEt on which he had Met with this interruption, he wished to call to the remembrance of the Rouse the number and glory of the many military actions which had distinguished the life and crowned Avith humor-- lel fame the death of Sir John Moore: - Yet, a detail' of those memorable achievements weldd only lessen the effeet of their united and continued splendor. lie would therefore • confine himself to the last of the; gallant General'a heroic course, which he, could not,' in justice to his memory, 'refrain from giving with:, the warmest eulogy his powers of language were equal to. A bare reeapitulatioo would be a splendid - monument to his memory.foi whom itSwas the 'obis mate design of his present address to procure a itto , rtinnetit of another kind, as a proof of national gras titudeartd esteem. :Whether the extent,: the diffi culties to be surmounted, or the manner in which it was executed, were cenSidered, his march in to. Spain would ever rank as one of the tirst displays of . skill and excellent disposition. On ' the- arrival , of _the army at Salamanca they - were in the most perfea ard complete state,' that ever men were in, to take .the field against an enemy. In order, in discipline, and in emery military requisite, they were Wily LOU)s petent to carry into exectnion auk plans their Coln, wander might embrace. As for number, it did-not depencLon him, but in every other respect, no army ever existed, better calculated to eXecute the pur poses. foe which it was :destined. It was not for want of transports' that he determined to inarch into Spain by land, but ha considered this mode as best calculated for military &feet. 'lNti doubt could pos, sibly Ise 'entertained of the:propriety of t his 'step, for if the army had been *assembled, by sea, in Galligia, it must have bTi'destroyed to all intents and pur poses, and rendered unfit for service, froM the bar s renness of thecountry, and the want of every eeces sary resource. When the jundion had been formed with the other division of the British force, sir John Moore. kerne* the fate of the ',allied armies With which it was intended he 'should have co-operated. He was. new convinced that it was impossible for him to stand singly. against the immense power 'of France, at - id relinquishing every idea of so fruitless.and dangeroui a resolntion, be deterthined to run the risk of making a powerful- diversion in favout of the Spa nish force in the South, by' drawing the attention of the concentrated French armies to the north. He felt that'in executing this plan, some danger mUst be incurred; but•ae it would- insure great national and general advantages to draw the ertemyfrom the hack of those armies they had jut defeated, he re— solved to carry it into effeet, at- the same time taking the chance of being etthbled' to attack Soult, and, thereby,add:to the glory and fame of . British arms, and animate our allies to . redouble their exertions. Age faras tholirst i ptut of this.plan wits corwerned, he was eminently isoceessful; as a more dt!cisive and efficacious diversion was never made, With reg:ird to the latter part, although ' disappriinted in his sign of attacking dip enemy under Snub, yet Previ dence - gave hint an .opportunity, before lie was snatched from the service af his country, of leaving to the army an example of the most emblem mili tary talents, and of -cotieriug his country- with that glory, which on sound Prineiples,ha durst 'not yen s ture to comend thr at Sal - lagers :and Saldana. At Corunna,, notwithstanding the severity of the w s a, ther, the ftttgi}t<s;of aMoO arduons march', and the destitute state of the cowry, he le 1, at length the satisfatlida of sbeing: able46,theet and toalefeats:an 'enemy-his superior in every te4ied but in brasft+y, discipline,' and 41nel-wined resolution.
